The town has unveiled plans to memorialize victims of Sept. 11 on the seventh anniversary of the tragedy.

A remembrance ceremony is set to take place at the Sept. 11th Living Memorial inside Cushing Memorial Park, located on Dudley Road this Sept. 11 at 5:30 p.m.

Seventeen people with ties to Framingham died during the events of Sept. 11, 2001, when two hijacked jetliners collided with the World Trade Center towers in New York City, causing both structures to collapse.

The event is open to the public, is expected to last about 30 minutes and will include "solemn remarks, a reading of the names on the memorial, prayer offerings and a presentation of the colors by the Framingham and Police Department Color Guards,'' according to a town press release.
